# Arsenal fans back Henry as they play down Aguero claims from City supporters

Thierry Henry is in many people’s eyes, the greatest to ever play in the Premier League.

Not only the best striker but the best all-round player following his incredible Arsenal career.

It is one of the biggest debates in football and now some Manchester City fans have been making a case for Sergio Aguero to be known as the best striker in the league’s history.

Judging by these reactions, it’s fair to say that several Arsenal fans on Twitter do not agree.

### Read Arsenal verdict

Henry was a real trailblazer in the Premier League when he first arrived. Such was the quality of the forward, he was far and away the best player in the division.

The first truely technically gifted striker that the league saw at a time where the face of the Premier League was very different to the one we know and love today.

It’s easy to see why many make a case for Aguero, he is right up there with the best modern-day strikers that have graced the English top flight.

With 170 goals to his name, the City star is on course to surpass Henry’s record of 175 Premier League goals this season and if he can continue his goalscoring form for a few more seasons, that argument will no doubt grow stronger, but for now, it’s Henry in the eyes of most.
